Joe Morgan: The thing I like about Gary Sheffield....

Steinbrenner always listened to what Coke Boy Doc told him

 

[NormanConnors]

to a great career

 

[the white hiphop thief]

Even though he killed the Mets i loved watching him play in the nl east one of the most entertaing players ever with no batting gloves his cannon and ability to hit pitches over his head or on the ground

I imagine hes kinda of like what it was like watching Clemente

 

[mson]

I was hoping he would get to 500hr.

I imagine hes kinda of like what it was like watching Clemente

or Sean Taylor with no tape or elbow pads.

 

[Rev]

Saw the thread title without reading thinking it said vida guerra


I was coming in this shyt like

Haha me too. Ya'll nikkas stupid man

 

[lepard]

And the entire time, his brother was the touted prospect

to Vlad!

 

[Miggs]

I always admired how he could hit so many bad pitches for power with no damn batting gloves...

Shame alot of his early years in MTL get overlooked cuz those were his best seasons,he was a beast late 90s on those expo teams...

 

[Lucky_Lefty]

Saw him when he was in Anaheim about 9 yrs ago. Until I saw Bryce Harper last yr, didn't know a baseball player could be that diesel looking. Dude threw a gotdamn laser from the warning track to home plate that would have been called a strike if he was a pitcher

 

[Broad Street Bully]

that was my mannnn!

him and gary sheffield

when i was young and had baseball aspirations, i always mirrored my stance and follow thru after those two

 

[Jeffrey Lebowski]

he is the reason i've refused to wear batting gloves

I remember reading Moises Alou used to piss on his hands to toughen them up so he could bat without gloves

 

[andre patton]

Vlad was that dude. One of the best players to have played the game over the past 20 years. I used to fukk w/ him heavy on the expos.

Yeah he had a great career. Hell of a ball player and one of the best outfield arms ever. Has to be up there with Clemente and Mays.
